Here's an interesting comment from another board..couldn't resist re-posting it. Name removed for privacy. I just couldn't have put it better myself.

We've gone off the deep end folks. If we do not figure out some way to reign in our central government we are doomed as a free country. I'm not talking about George Bush. I'm talking about the office of the President.
I cry for my country."
